Chapter 389: The initial dream, to open a gym? (5.2k)
"So in the final analysis, the World Youth Championship champion only has this little reward... Isn't your Hezhong region always the richest?"
After the game, in the hotel room.
Xia Chen looked at the list of championship prizes sent to him by the event organizer and half-jokingly complained to the current United Champion.
To be honest, as it is a world-level competition, the total rewards for the World Youth Championship, nicknamed "The Eight Masters of the Youth Edition", are worth millions, which is a bit chilling.
Cattleya answered firmly: "I won the Championship Challenge and there was no reward at all."
"Because the position of champion itself is the best reward."
Xia Chen exposed the truth behind this sentence.
"You are right, the championship itself is the best reward."
Cattleya nodded in agreement, a teasing smile flashing slightly in her eyes.
Xia Chen was furious.
No, can these two champions be compared?
Your league champion holds great power and a respected position. My World Youth Championship champion sounds nice, but what’s wrong with me?
He originally wanted to retort like this, but after seeing Cattleya's perfectly curved lips, he just let out a light tut.
Bad woman.
Sirona came out at the right time to break up the fight, "Okay, stop arguing. This competition is actually similar to the Eighth Masters. Although the prize money is not high, the gold content is very high."
It seems that there is no favoritism between best friends and... good friends.
Something suddenly occurred to her and she added: "And didn't Adek and Daye add some color to the championship?"
Xia Chen, who has been preparing for competitions these days, has never heard of such a thing, so he is naturally full of questions.
Cattleya simply explained: "Probably those two guys bet on you as an elf. They chose three out of eight. Neither of them guessed right, so they took the bet as the championship prize."
Xia Chen understood. They were probably betting on the match against Daiwu Doronchi.
He asked curiously: "Then what is their bet?"
Cattleya answered all questions, "Adek's fire moth cub, and a volcano stone that can be very helpful for the growth of fire elves in the early and middle stages."
"Volcano Stone..."
Xia Chen was slightly startled. Doesn't this thing have something to do with Xi Duolan'en?
Daye, or others, didn't seem to know about it, otherwise they wouldn't have gambled it away casually.
Did you make a mistake?
It's hard to say, but no matter what, the prize of Adek's fire moth's cub alone is enough to cover all the official prizes given by Gossamer.
There is no need to exaggerate the strength of Adek's Vulcan Moth. It is on the same level as Sirona's Biting Land Shark and Alchemy's Big Squirting Teacher.
Her cubs are even more valuable than ordinary quasi-god cubs of champion-level bloodline.
Vulcan moth? The attributes of fire and insect are indeed attributes that the team lacks.
And whether it's appearance or strength, it is impeccable, not to mention the descendant of Adek's Vulcan Moth.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen asked excitedly: "Then where is the burning insect? Has it hatched or is it in the egg?"
Cattleya said quietly: "Still in the belly of the Vulcan Moth..."
Xia Chen: "..."
Yes, I am happy for nothing.
It’s another long waiting process...
But it doesn't matter. Xia Chen has waited for the Sticky Treasure, so naturally he is not afraid of waiting for another Burning Insect.
…………
"What are your plans next?"
After Xia Chen roughly understood the rewards of the World Youth Championship, Sirona, who was lying on the sofa, asked him about his next trip.
"Hmm... I still want to finish the secret seasoning thing first, but I may have to wait for news from Pipa."
Xia Chen is a person who has a beginning and an end. He has found the third of the five secret seasonings. Whether it is for the purpose of curing Gu Lerton or other considerations, this is what Xia Chen will do in the next period of time.
But as he said, before that, we still need to wait for the information from Paipa.
"Then do you want to travel in the Hezhong area for a while? If you ask me, I can consider being your tour guide for a while."
Cattleya said the most arrogant words in a cold tone.
Traveling in the Unova area?
Cattleya's proposal made Xia Chen seriously consider it, and then chose to reject it.
"Forget it, Padya's matter is not over yet, I don't want to cause any more trouble."
He feels that he does not have the protagonist's troubles, but he has the protagonist's trouble-making physique.
Carlos and Padea seem to be in trouble wherever they go, but the two dragon gods of ideals and reality have no intention of provoking them.
Sirona suddenly said: "I remember... you said you wanted to become a gym leader? Do you still have this idea now? If so, with your strength and reputation, you can actually prepare to apply.
."
Xia Chen was slightly startled. This suggestion really awakened his oldest memories.
My mind goes back to two years ago.
At that time, he was just an ordinary person with missing parents and nothing.
There are no initial elves, no resources, no cash abilities, and no superpowers. All that is left is an ordinary handsome face and memories that do not belong to this world.
The ideal life is to work hard for more than ten years, raise a bunch of cute or handsome elves, and become a gym leader who just eats and waits for death.
It's just that this ideal life trajectory has gone further and further away since I picked up a certain little guy.
My current self...a famous elf researcher, the world's leader of young trainers, a young billionaire, a self-media blogger with millions of fans...
If all the titles, big and small, are taken into account, it would be enough for a cross talk actor to have a conversation.
The situation where things are different and people are different makes Xia Chen want to lament sadly, "The happiest time for me was when I was earning 91 yuan a month and I was the owner of a small shop in the food court."
Of course, this was just a thought in his mind. If Arceus really came out and asked him to choose a life, Xia Chen would definitely choose the current one without hesitation.
So, what about your first dream?
When Xia Chen was feeling disappointed, a white and delicate plain hand suddenly placed on his shoulder.
"There's no need to make a decision in such a hurry for such an important matter. Think about it slowly."
Cattleya could not be so gentle. Xia Chen turned around and saw that it was indeed Sirona looking at him with beautiful eyes.
Xia Chen suddenly said: "I kind of want to go back to Donghuang."
…………
Winning the World Youth Championship not only gained a lot for Xia Chen, but also for Gulerton.
However, Xia Chen's reward came from the event officials and the two elders, while Gu Lerton finally completed the system novice task that had stuck him for three or four months——
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for following the trainer and successfully winning the championship and completing the novice mission: Emerging! Rewards will be distributed based on the host’s performance in the mission, please check.]
[Task performance rating: a (Although you only appeared once, you performed a performance that impressed everyone!)]
[Basic reward: Magic Candy
[Additional rewards: store points.]
a?
Therefore, Leton was a little surprised. This evaluation was much higher than the B- in the first task.
It is probably based on a comprehensive consideration of the reputation, gold content of the game and the level of the opponent.
Although the extra reward points are much higher than the 1,000 I was given away like a beggar last time, it is still less than half the price of the high-end universal healing capsule I want to buy.
Looks like we have to wait for the next mission.
Regardless of the mission, Luton first studied the thing called "Magic Candy" in the basic reward.
The descriptions of experience and level are quite game-like, so Leton guessed that the system converted the elves' strength data into something similar.
For a moment, it was a little curious about what level it was in the eyes of this mysterious system.
Ever since, Gu Luton said silently in his heart: "System, open [Elf Information]"
[The information panel is opening for you, your information is as follows.]
[Race: Guluton]
[Attribute: Fighting/Dragon]
[Gender: None]
【Level:93(80)】
[Characteristic: Crimson Pulse (turns on the [Sunny] weather, and can gain a 33% attack power increase in the sunny state.)]
[Mastery of moves: full-on collision, close combat, flash charge, dragon claw, reverse scale, sucking fist, meteor swarm...]
…………
Sure enough, does level represent strength?
Therefore, Luton felt relieved.
But is your level only 93?
Therefore, Luton was a little surprised. He thought that there would be at least level 95... It seems that there are many elves in this world that are more powerful than him.
Xiao Xiao sighs with emotion, so Lerton retracts his thoughts and continues reading.
As for the level 80 after level 93, it should be the level he is at now after being injured.
Due to his understanding of his own condition, Luton was not surprised that he was 13 levels below his prime.
It was not lying when it told Xia Chen that it had returned to the legendary level, but what it did not add was that the "legendary level" strength scope planned by humans was too vast.
Divide by the levels given by the system. As long as you reach level 80, you can surpass the champion and reach the legend.
But there are also differences between the legends.
Can level 80 and level 99 be the same thing?
Having been at the top and also at the bottom, Luton knows best that the answer to this question is very different.
Regichkas can drag continents, Kyogregor can create earth and oceans, the twin dragons of time and space can destroy time and space at every turn, and Xerneas has the ability to give life...
Today's battle in the arena, which is dubbed the "Battle of Legends" by the outside world, is no different from children's play in front of those real legends.
Based on rational self-analysis, Luton felt that his abilities were indeed inferior to those of the legendary elders in various regions, so the level of 93 was considered reasonable.
So what is the effect of the prop called [Magic Candy]?
Therefore, Leton curiously opened the store panel and searched for "magic candies". Among the dazzling array of products, only one was left in an instant.
[Magic Candy: Increase the level of an elf by 1 (Price:/Limited: 2)]
hiss--
Despite what he had seen and heard, Luton could not help but be shocked by the description of this effect.
The simplest description, but the most powerful effect.
Therefore, Leton asked in a skeptical tone: "System, does this thing have no other restrictions?"
[The goods are genuine and the price is clearly marked, so you don’t have to be deceived.]
Gu Lerton: "...6"
…………
If what the system says is true, it means that these two candies can make me reach level 95 in my heyday!
What an amazing horror effect.
If calculated in a systematic way, it only took thirty or forty years for Luton to grow from level 1 to level 80, but it took more than two hundred years to grow from level 80 to level 93 at his peak...
There is a saying among human student groups, "It is easy to improve from failing to passing, but it is difficult to improve from passing to outstanding."
The same is true for the strength of elves. The further you go, the harder it is to improve.
It is no exaggeration to say that this magical candy can equal my decades of cultivation and growth.
That's why Luton had such doubts just now. In his opinion, if the candy has the kind of "can only be used by elves below level 50", then this thing is quite reasonable.
If it is limited to level 80, it is completely worthy of its price and quantity limit of 2.
But there is no limit...
Therefore, Luton felt that the system was a bit kidding on him.
However, he was surprised, so from the bottom of his heart, Luerton still believed that the system had such magical effects. Just like its name, magical candy.
Weighing the seemingly mediocre candies in its hands, Luton was about to eat one to test the effect. Out of caution, it still asked: "System, are you sure I can level up after eating it, right?"
【Yes, you will reach level 81!】
Well, that's good, don't worry...
No, why is it 81 instead of 94, so Luton paused with his raised paw.
It asked repeatedly: "Are you sure you're not level 94?"
【Yes, you will reach level 81!】
A repeater, right?
So Luton put down his paw, and he probably understood that no matter what happened in the past, this magical candy only improved his actual strength, or energy intensity.
If this is the case, then it would be a bit of a loss to eat now.
It was obvious that he had "lost" the level due to injury, but he had to rely on magical candies to increase it.
No matter how you look at it, it's best to wait until you regain your full strength before eating.
…………
After studying the magical candies, Luton finally focused on the next stage of the task.
Click on the task list. The first two main tasks are finally over, so the third one is...
[Don’t bully young people who are poor: Congratulations, you have emerged on the field and initially showed your potential to the world. However, as the protagonist, how can there be no insignificant little characters stepping on you on the road of growth. Thirty years of Hedong
Thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty!】
[Checking your memories, target determined, Millarton!]
Gu Luton: "..."
No, is there something wrong with the system's brain circuit? Is the span so big?
The first mission was to defeat Senbu, who was at the elite level at the time, and the second mission was just to win a certain competition.
At the third level, does it mean defeating the legendary elves?
Although this mission is indeed quite satisfying, is this time point a bit too early——
I can't beat that ugly purple monster now!
Therefore, Luton complained and complained in his heart.
If divided by system level, Milerton four months ago had a strength of level 85 or above.
After recuperating in the past few months, its strength should have recovered a little, and it may be almost level 90.
Although I really don't want to say this, Gu Lerton has to admit that it is a bit risky to take revenge now...
If the [Universal Healing Capsule] can be redeemed now, and Xia Chen transforms into Deoxys, there may be hope.
But the problem is, the existing points are not enough...
The only way to gain points is to defeat Millarton and complete the mission.
Therefore, Leden asked without giving up: "System, can I borrow points to buy a capsule?"
[No, you must defeat Milton first to get points to buy capsules. 】
"How can I beat Milton if I don't buy the capsule?"
[You can get points to buy capsules by defeating Milton.]
"..."
The veins on his forehead bulged, so Leden took a deep breath and decided not to continue talking to this mindless system.
It seems that this road is blocked. I can only hope that the two secret plants that have not yet been found can help...
…………
Before leaving Hezhong, Xia Chen went to visit the two elders, Adike and Daye.
When Xia Chen found them, these two guys, perhaps the most inconspicuous among the champions, were having fun in the bar.
"Senior, why do you want to meet at a place like this?"
The atmosphere in the bar...or nightclub was exciting and noisy. Xia Chen had to roar to ensure that his voice was conveyed.
The two elders reluctantly looked away from the Flame Queen's pole dance performance on the stage and looked at Xia Chen.
Adek said loudly: "This is the first nightclub in the world with an elf show! How about it?"
Xia Chen glanced at the unsightly scenes on the stage and felt that something should be inserted between the four words "elf show".
Even Xia Chen, who is overly enthusiastic about cute and beautiful elves, can't accept the performance here.
He shook his head and said, "Shall we find a quiet place to talk?"
Adike and Daye threw a handful of elven coins on the stage, and then took Xia Chen to a quieter box.
"Although I have retired, I still have to pay attention to my image, senior..."
Xia Chen complained.
He didn't regard Adek as a perverted furry control. Some people would look at this kind of thing out of curiosity.
Adike chuckled and said, "The main reason is that Daye has never been here before and insisted on coming over to have a look."
Daye looked sideways, with an expression like "If I couldn't beat you, I would have turned against you".
Looking at these two living treasures, Xia Chen asked helplessly: "What do you two seniors want from me?"
Daye first threw an orange-red stone. In the dim atmosphere of the nightclub, the round stone that was not too regular was faintly flowing with a magma-like luster, which looked very special.
He simply said: "The volcano rock is yours."
Xia Chen did not take it immediately. He said seriously: "Senior, I think it is necessary to tell you that this stone should be related to the legendary elf Xiduo Lan'en."
He doesn't have any moral issues, but he feels more at ease when he talks about it.
Moreover, the volcanic stone is not particularly indispensable to him.
…………
Hearing Xia Chen's words, Daye raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, then shrugged, "Understood, but it's still yours."
His mentality, how should I put it...
He felt like he was stuck there. When he went up, Sirona beat him, but when he went down, there weren't many gym leaders who could beat him.
The entire strength level is stuck there.
So he doesn't have many desires and needs.
Besides, this stone had been with him for more than ten or twenty years. Daye really didn't think he could develop anything that he hadn't discovered before, so he simply didn't want to and threw it to Xia Chen as promised.
However, he still added: "If I really meet Xi Dolan and help me take some photos, I will be quite interested in it."
